Blogging 101 Sue Seward Online Marketing Coach

Are U Branding Online with a Blog?


A blog is much like a personal website only its focus is more of a personal journal or diary that's opened up for anyone who chooses to read it.


A blog is a wonderful complement to your personal website, newsletters, articles, and overall building your personal brand online.


Your blog writing will center around a specific topic related to your target market. Each post will contain your personal thoughts, experiences, resources, training, coaching relevant to your topic. The key is to develop your style of writing and anyone can do it. When I started online in 1996 I had no degrees or writing experience.


I just dove in and did it! Today I'm a published MLM author. Who would have thought?


Much like the personal website, a blog is another tool to share who you are and begin establishing relationships. However, with a blog, your site visitors can leave comments and the relationship becomes a two way conversation and connects you to your readers.


Everyone seems to be moving in the direction of blogging online so if you have a business and would like to promote your business online, this might be the perfect time to learn about blogging or if you already have a blog why not get paid to blog or self-fund your blog? Especially in this economy when it's time to think
outside the box! So many people now days are looking for extra ways to earn more income and pay expenses.


By making connections with other entrepreneurs online, I've come across a new blogging network that actually pays down 5 levels to refer the blogging service to other people - (I just imported all of my blog content from here at blogspot). All of my content for the last five years imported right into the ismyblogs.name blog network which uses Wordpress, with a ton of added features.


This sort of takes me back to the ole .WS Global Domains International days way back over twelve years ago. You may remember them. I still to this day receive a commission check deposited into my bank account every month from that program and have not done any marketing to grow that program in over ten years. I referred a few people way back then and it just sort of took off with Viral Power.


I've had several brainstorming sessions on the phone with one of the top affiliates to go over some of the features of the blogging network and I'm extremely impressed and excited about the possibilities it has for anyone with a business or anyone who loves to blog and wants to incorporate their business into their blog. I have those audio recordings for anyone who joins our blogging network.


There is a resource training center available included for all affiliates, with step by step how to videos chopped full of valuable nuggets to help people expose their business online. After thirteen years online this is one of the tools I've been searching for.


We are planning some blog talk radio interviews centered around blogging so more people understand how to use a blog, brand themselves and expose their business to more people. This network however, shows you step by step how to get your blog set up and running fairly quickly and how to advertise your home business.


People contact me often asking.. "Sue how can I get a personalized website to promote my business and build a presence online and brand myself?" We used to using website builders, now the trend is blogging!


Anyone can promote their business and brand themselves with this blogging network and there is a 5 level commission pay out so at the same time anyone can earn some extra money referring others or just have their own blog paid for.


I've started receiving more hits to not only my blog and networking newsletter, which I have connected with my blog; visitors are being attracted to my primary business website as well because there's a link for my business connected from my blog. This is a huge benefit alone.


I've been looking for a streamlined platform to promote my coaching and primary business and really love the fact that we can refer others and earn some extra income to pay expenses for our business. That's why I love self-funded programs and this one just happens to have viral power to help boost our personal brand even more.


The network is Free for the first 30 days so why not give it a whirl!? It's very affordable at only $9.95 a month after that to start your own branding online.


With just ten referrals your blog will be paid for and the network will help you get listed at the top of the search engines and you will be able to promote your business in our exclusive Group Advertising Network.


The goal is to eventually streamline one of my other personal training websites into this self-funded network.


Several of my networking colleagues have already decided to try it out and are already loving all the features and training they are receiving to promote their business -


Here are a few tips to getting started with your blog - remember with the above network we also offer you a free resource and training center filled with golden nuggets to help you on your blogging journey to success in Branding U!


1. Who is your ideal reader?

2. Examine the reasons or purpose of why you want to publish a
blog.

3. How do you want your readers to feel when they read your blog?
What's your writing style - humorous, visionary, educator??

4. What do you want your readers to do when they read your blog? -
call to action

5. How much time do you have to devote to your blog each week?
Start planning a schedule for writing.

6. Name your blog. Think in terms of keywords and target market.
What's your niche? How does it relate to your online presence?

7. Sign up for a blog account - see free 30 day trial link below

8. Be sure you register a domain name for your blog; for example mine is SueSeward.com I always recommend using your name to Brand U!

9. Set up your blog -

- Choose a theme that best suits your style with colors, layout, and side bar items. Our blogging platform has over 200+ themes to choose from and over 100+ plugins. Personally I uploaded my own Lake Travis photo for my header.

- Choose colors that complement your personal website, logo/header

- Set up your content categories and lists

- Develop your "profile"

10. Drive traffic to your blog site:

- Submit to blog directories and search engines - (All of this comes included with our blogging network)


- Submit to regular search engines like Google and Yahoo - (this is done for all affiliates with our blogging network)

- Have a sign up form on your blog so visitors can get your posts by email - this can be set up with an Aweber account. Don't have an account?

-Sign up for an AWEBER autoresponder account here - then be sure you sign up as an affiliate because this is another self-funded program-

>AweberAutoresponderSystem


- Syndicate your blog with RSS feeds. Any website you have may offer an RSS feed feature. When you set this up, this means that whenever you post something on your blog, it will show up on the website you've placed the RSS feed.


When I write a post on the ismyblog.name blogging network there is a share button with about 50+ networks to post my blog to such as - Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Ping.fm, Yahoo, Plaxo, Linkedin. Viral Power...


Be sure you register for some of these networks if you have not already do so. For instance with ping.fm you can post a message and viral power it out to more that one network at a time depending on which networks you are registered with. When I post something on ping.fm it gets posted on both Twitter and Facebook saving me time.


11. Create links to your blog -

- put a link in your email signature file

- on your personal website or any profile pages within social
communities

- Article Resource Box

- in your newsletter

- Business Cards

-put links to your primary business on your blog


12. Blogging is another valuable tool for online networking and branding. Comment on other blogs related to your target market, build your credibility, and drive traffic to your blog. When you post on another persons blog, your name/ID profile will be a hyperlinked back to you.

How To Monetize Your Blog

Are you branding yourself online using a blog?


If so do you know how to monetize it? Would you like to have your blog paid for and get paid to blog at the same time?


I've come across a new self-funded blogging program that actually pays down 5 levels to refer this blogging service to other entrepreneurs - (I just imported all of my blog content from blogspot to this service.) All of my content for the last five years imported easily into this blog which uses Wordpress.


I was on the phone with one of the partners for over an hour last Friday and we have another call set up for this week to go over more questions.


If you have been looking for a way to have your own personalized blog to promote your business, build your presence online, brand yourself and at the same time earn some extra money referring others or just have your own blog paid for, this may be a valuable system for you and others you know who are looking for ways to promote their business.


It's Free for the first 30 days so give it a whirl! It's only $9.95 a month after that. Right now I'm paying over $70 a month for various personal websites/blogs and planning to eventually streamline everything into this self-funded system for $9.95 a month. With just ten referrals your blog is paid for and you will be listed at the top of the search engines too.


Even though I've been branding myself and building a business online for over thirteen years I'm not a technical person. I have no idea how search engines work so leave that to these experts! They have all the training in place to plug into that will show you how to set up your blog and/or transfer your current content from various blogging platforms over to this one. It's very simple step by step training that will have you up and running in no time promoting your business.


I'm here to assist you with any marketing questions you may have because that's my expertise - networking, making connections, sponsoring, training and building a long term residual income.


Take a peek and see if this is something you can use to brand yourself and promote your business -

Building Your Business & Teach Your Team To Fish

Finding BIG Fish!


Copyright © 2000 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved. (Revised 2010)


It has taken some time to finally realize the importance of seeking out seriously motivated, self starting people that are looking for a new business opportunity right now. In other words, they are already in the looking zone and open to new ideas and ways to increase their revenue streams.


In the beginning I would sponsor anyone that would sign the paperwork! Everyone was a target! Not such a good thing, hey what do you expect from a newbie and besides that’s what we were taught to do.


Most of these people were really not serious and did not realize that a business takes consistent effort, persistence and focus. There’s no get rich quick over night success opportunities out there unless you plan to win the lottery someday and that someday may never come. It takes years of hard work and initiative.


If someone tells you they will build your business, or this system will build your business, turn the other way because that’s not true. Network Marketing is a real business just like any other business . You decide how much time to take.


There's no free lunch and no such thing as a downline building club. Emails come in from people I’ve never met saying “you have to join this X builder program now because you have a 100 people in your downline already!” Oh yeah? So who are these 100 people and where did they come from?


Personally I decided years ago to take on the attitude of Showshawme, an ordinary fellow who started years ago in Cell Tech. He is listed in Richard Poe's book Wave 3, under chapter 6, Catch a Big Fish. This particular story caught my eye because there are some valuable lessons to be learned about putting fishing lines in the water. Here's a little snippet -


"Showshawme is a "big fish". He's the sort of catch for which every new distributor in network marketing is avidly angling. Yet Showshawme is no superman. He has no special skills or unusual techniques. He’s just an ordinary fellow that does some extraordinary fishing.


How did he do it? Simple. Showshawme recruited other big fish. He says "my income didn't come from sponsoring lots of people," he says, "It came from sponsoring only two or three main lines. And from those two or three people, hundreds of thousands of other people have come."


Showshawme targeted his fish with a shrewd eye to their personal and professional spheres of influence. He knew exactly who he wanted to work with and how they would help him build his business. Then Showshawme zeroed in on his prospects with relentless persistence and won them to his cause. (he built relationships and made friends with people that he wanted to work with, people that had great circles of influence.


So the morale of this story is? Knowing whom to target and when to turn on the pressure are key skills that, when mastered, have the potential to turbo charge your business with an extraordinary Butterfly Effect.


Focus on learning these skills that will help you personally become a more effective leader, sponsor, Network Marketing Professional and develop into a fisher of people!


Now are you ready to go fishing and teach your team to fish?


We'll see you on this Thursday's training webinar –

What is more valuable - time or money?

Bluebonnets everywhere! And they just keep on producing all over the place once they've been planted!



Jim Rohn said "Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you can't get more time."


It's the end of March and another super month of people joining our business to take back control of their lives!


It’s also the beginning of spring and the middle of the current Prime Recruiting Season.


When done correctly, the productivity you achieve over the next 90 days can cause your downline to be in full-blown momentum by the middle of summer. Then by next fall during the next Prime Recruiting Season, your downline could explode from all the extra seed planting you did in the spring.


Be sure that you have a good supply of consistent leads flowing through your pipeline. If you do not let me know and I will refer you to some excellent lead sources. Every month I buy two shares in our team Pay Per Click coop and we are signing people up every month from this coop using our team online marketing website system.


I caution those who are only using social media to depend on for building their business. This can be a deceiving business building method because it’s just that – ‘social’ – media.


How many people have signed up this month from social media methods? I’ll answer that question for myself - none. We have however signed up several distributors from our pay per click leads and have several others who are interested.


What social media can do for your business is take up a lot of your valuable time. Time that could be spent in calling and connecting with real people who are interested in starting a business with you. These are people who have actually requested that you call them and assist them in starting a business. Why not be spending time with these people? They are out there waiting for you to pick up the phone and call them!


A social media connection usually already has a business so really all you could be doing is spinning your wheels with them. Yes it’s great to make a connection and build a relationship because you never know when someone you meet from social media could be in the looking zone that's true too.


I've been making connections online for over thirteen years and have never depended on social media solely to build my business. In fact, it's a very small piece of the pie. A sliver actually because of the saturation of the Internet over the years especially in this area.


The point I’m making here is if someone is depending totally on social media to build their business they may be ‘deceived’ and could end up with a very slow building business in the long run. So why not spread your seeds out?


The better way to build your business is with people who are in the looking zone. That means hot/warm market or cold market. You choose. The business will not build by itself and it will not build with social media alone.


It's important to consistently be putting people in your pipeline and then follow through and follow up and duplicate the same process with your team! If all there is is a bunch of social media groopies all hanging out socializing, then who's building a real business and more importantly who's mentoring the team?

Meantime -

1) If people wanted to make more money before, they really want to now.


2) Tax Refund checks are giving people the extra funds to get started.


3) People are looking and getting started. Someone is going to sell or sponsor them why not you?


4) When approached "correctly", most people are nice, pleasant, and interested especially when they requested to be called in the first place. Make sense?


We encourage distributors if you want to get your business to grow then double, triple, or do everything you can to multiply/duplicate your efforts. This means taking Massive Action in picking up your phone and calling people who have asked you to call and help them right now!


By the way if you are looking for leads, here's another lead source we've used and recommend from - http://www.mlmleads.com

"You Can Have Anything You Want When You Help Enough Other People Get What They Want!" Zig Ziglar

So what do you think...

People feel is MOST important in choosing a company?


The answer might surprise you as much as it did me! It’s not exactly what we've all been taught over the years. And you may be really inspired to know that for most, it’s NOT about the compensation plan.


Now maybe for those driven personalities, we call them the ‘Driven RED’ personality and money IS usually #1 for them. They are in command, always right, and not very compassionate. It’s their way or the highway! They are focused, goal oriented and intense. They usually have big egos, can be dominating and un-teachable. The important thing to realize is only about 15% of the people you come across will be of this personality and most people are a combination of various personalities to balance them out.


If our entire downline was RED we'd all be rich right?!!! That is if we can stand to be around them! That's why it's so great to have various personalities among your team! We certainly are not going to get along with everyone or like everyone, this is afterall a business right? At least that's how the driven Red sees it! They are not out to be your friend. In fact, most of their business relationships are just that strictly business. They do not allow too many people to get close.


Most people, about 35%, are the ‘Amiable Yellow’ or ‘Analytical Green’ and not as much focused on the money as they are on the people - ie: helping people, their purpose, the cause, we all need to get along, let’s be friends personality and of course the green analyticals want all the details and facts! These are the personalities you’re most likely going to run into when you're networking and you’ll want lot’s of them because they are usually quite dependable, loyal, patient and supportive team players.


Then some people just wanta to have fun!!! The ‘Expressive Blue’!


15% of the people you meet will be this personality or a combination of this and others. You’ll know them when you meet them! They love to party and socialize! They were born to network!!! They are also money motivated so yes the compensation plan is important but they also want to get to know who YOU are and they always want to have fun! They love to be the leader too so let them do their thing!


These guys and gals are also great story tellers which is a real asset in our business! People love hearing stories, we all relate to stories right? Find you some great story tellers and say to them “hey there are two kinds of people in the world, those who tell stories and those who get paid to tell stories!” Did I see a hand raised? The Blues are waving their hands! Me me me me!


You may come across a few of the top gun ‘get out of my way’ recruiters but they are far and few between. So try not to beat yourself up too much about it. When you do come across one of these true RED’s or a true BLUE RED, leave them alone and watch your business explode! Just remember if you’re in one of those pay plans with all this volume on one side you’re not going to get paid on it until you catch up on the other side! No free lunch gang! Still a good problem to have though huh?


Just picked up this list from another top trainer in our industry - of what people look for in a company and after over fifteen years of developing a career in the Network Marketing industry have to agree with the #1 choice and order of this list.


See if you can pin point what the #1 thing a person is looking for when joining a company. What’s MOST important to people -


-Company literature shown

-Marketing plan and potential earnings

-Training provided

-Who gave the presentation

-Product line

-Company management experience

-Up-line support

-Company image

-Sales kit provided

-Being first in your area

List those down from 1-10 most important to least important from the prospects point of view.

Remember - think like you’re a prospect!

What prospects consider most important when deciding on a company– drum roll please....

#1 - Who Gave the presentation

Surprised?

People will join YOU! They join people, they do not join companies. Of course we think our company is the best, our management team is the best, our product is the absolute best!

Our prospect though is wondering are WE going to be the best sponsor? They want to know who’s giving them the presentation and even more importantly can they do this too? When you care about people they know it!

Next in line is Upline Support – THE TEAM! T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More!

#3 Training provided

#4 Marketing plan and earnings

#5 Product

#6 Being first in your area

#7 Company literature shown

#8 Company Image

#9 is the sales kit provided?

#10 Company management experience

So how’d you do in thinking like a prospect? Would you sign up with YOU?


Here’s some feedback below from a recent webinar training I gave on Sharpening People Skills & How To Find HOT Prospects In Your Local Area – Building Instant Rapport With People You Meet.

We have another webinar training coming up in this topic area TBA!

We want to hear from you! Tell us what training is most effective in supporting you in building your business!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just wanted to say your webinar (which I finally was able to see) made such an impact on me. I am so glad that I placed the ad in our local paper - I have 2 interviews set up for Sat. at 10am.. over coffee and pastries.. (food and fellowship!)

Thank you so much.. I am going to have them come sit down and view the presentation on my website.. I wish I had the DVD which just came out to show new prospects! I need to order it as soon as I can!

I just hope I can present the company in a wonderful way to help them make a great decision to join us.

Woohoo! Just did an interview! Gave her a scent sample and info and she brought her husband too.. Ok.. great.. I plan to have ladies over on Sat to watch the video on my site. I want to recruit 5 - that is my first goal! I am so excited Sue!

Kim C


..I listened to the recording of your call from last weekend...

...and it was AWESOME!! THANK YOU!

The training was really great! Will you do more Corp training calls? PLEASE say you will - this last call was so wonderful AND value packed!

You mentioned a written transcription - where can I find it? I didn't see it on Jackie's yahoo group - can you tell me where to find the notes?

THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Sue Y.


AWESOME training! Can't wait for the = handouts!

Stephanie S.

Great Job Sue!
I enjoyed your enthusiasm, pashion, and all the nuggets you shared yesterday. The role-playing you and Stephanie did was great also. Have you looked for a GPS yet? My daughter has a TomTom and I have a Magellian(?). Any of them will help!?

Allen P.

"I just had the opportunity to listen to it this afternoon, too. Thanks, Sue! You really did a great job and it was fun to hear you!!

Cindy B.

Hi Sue,
I enjoyed the presentation and can you please send me the notes. That would be awesome and also would love info on the 30 second commercial.

Mary P.

"Hi Sue! Couldn't make it Saturday, so I just finished listening to the recording. It was GREAT! Thanks for all the information and notes!"

Donna K.

Sue,

Great sharing on the call this morning!

I couldn't write fast enough and would love anything you can
pass on to me from your info you gave out today.

The one-liners and ice breakers are just what I need right now! :)

My husband does Bird Dogging for me as he travels each week as an over the road trucker and so I would like to share the one-liners with him, also.

Love your goal to bring your hubby home, that is one of my BIG goals, also!

Thanks again,
LaDonna L.
~~~~~~~~~~~


I came in late, but what I heard was excellent! Gave me hope once again to keep persevering! I have went through some touch circumstances, but I am surviving! Things never go the way you think they will, but you have to make a choice, to quit or get back up and try again! Well, I am getting back up and trying one more time! Usually, if things don't... See More go right, I back up & procrastinate, then, I quit! Not this time, somehow I will move forward and do more than just survive. I will thrive once again! How? I'm not sure! But I will take it one step at a time! Thanks to you, and some women I met in Topeka, and of course, Kelly Wissink! I just want to encourage you to keep on doing what comes natural to you! And I will do the same! Love ya!

Judith B.

Great info today Sue, thanks

Rhonda H.

You did a fantastic job explaining the business and I liked that you had a role playing business intro to a prospect. Great job! We will talk soon!

Cindy G.

Here’s Some More Recent Feedback From Our Survey -

Listened today 2/17 - it was wonderful- one of the best. Please do more, Sue.

The webinar gave a lot of "how-to's instead of just telling you what to do. Supplying handouts really help solidify the training.
I listened to the recording and, seriously, I thought it was great - very practical/do-able ideas & suggestions. I liked the powerpoint presentation AND the accompanying notes. Thank you!

Yes I was there and look forward to the personality training. I believe that training in Prospecting, presenting and duplication is the most important. These areas need the most work by the majority of the people. Other training such as fundraisers, parties can be self taught through experience, manuals, and the plethora of info already available. These 3 areas (PPD) don't happen because people are afraid or feEl they don't know how Or what to do and say?
Great! Awesome! Learned a lot do more!

I'm listening to it right now!!! It's great!!!

I can't think of anything to add at the moment, you both do a great job. And Sue, it's very nice to have you back! Wed, Feb 17

You guys are awesome and provide all we need! We just have to take the time to use it. Wed, Feb 17, 2010


This survey is still open and we are continuing to collect feedback - so if you were on this training we'd love to hear from you!

Is It Snowing Where You Are?

We've been watching the weather channel to keep tabs on all our friends living on the east coast!

WOW! Remember those snow days when we lived for ten years in northern West Virginia! Our boys loved sliding in the snow down the hill in front of our house.



Here's our lonely little snow sled from the 50's sitting in our living room here in Austin Texas with no snow here for it to come out and play.

This happens to be the same sled that my husband Clif played on when he was a little boy and our two boys Luke and James had so much fun playing in the snow when we lived in northern West Virginia back in the early 90's!

So many wonderful times of us all sledding down the hill in front of our home there in Charles Town W VA! What great memories!!

I just found out!!

What Tom “Big Al” Schreiter say a prospect feels is most important in choosing a company, what do you think it is?

Here’s the list –

-Company literature shown
-Marketing plan and potential earnings
-Training provided
-Who gave the presentation
-Product line
-Company management experience
-Up-line support
-Company image
-Sales kit provided
-Being first in your area

List those down from 1-10 most important to least important from the prospects point of view.

Remember - think like you’re a prospect!




Here's the #1 thing a prospect is looking for when joining a company– Who Gave the presentation!


People will join YOU! They join people, they do not join companies. Of course we think our company is the best, our management team is the best, our product is the absolute best!


Our prospect though is wondering are WE the best sponsor? They want to know who’s giving them the presentation and even more importantly can they do this too? When you care about people they know it!


Next in line is Upline Support – THE TEAM! T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More!

#3 Training provided
#4 Marketing plan and earnings

"You Can Have Anything You Want When You Help Enough Other People Get What They Want!" Zig Ziglar

NEWS Flash Sue Seward Internet Marketer goes to a live meeting!

Yep you heard it right! Sue Seward actually went to a live in your face local meeting tonight! Got the picture here to prove it!


And that's just what we learned to do, how to find hot local prospects!



It was actually worth it to brave the rush hour traffic with all the fussy worker bees in drizzling rain not knowing where the heck I was going! Got a late start because a prospect called right before leaving so chatted for a bit, got her on her way to finding her passion and taking the next action step and then hit the road!


What a trip! Total bumper to bumper traffic, reminded me exactly of WHY I work at home! haha!


Wow though did I find out some simple skills that anyone can learn and heck it was fun! Ok you're thinking dang that girl needs to get out more! hahaha!





Had no idea where I was going after getting on the big freeway, missed my turn, calling the hotel to see who could get me in the right direction, couldn't talk on the cell while driving with all the worker bees on my butt, almost had two collisions, got in the left turn lane and then went straight while a car was turning left and missed me by like an inch!!! Geez! I think God had me in the palm of his hand!!! Holy COW what a fricken mess!


Finally got there 15 minutes late and because of that actually got in for no charge because the host came out and turns out we got to talking briefly and I had met her online back during the holidays when checking out some MEETUP groups in Austin! She is the host of one and she was hosting this workshop! So she says YOU are my guest and gives me my twenty back! Hows that for karma?


Then at the end Big Al says he's got some CD's we can get to take home for a donation of.... Yep twenty bucks!


The workshop was full of great tips and skills training from a master who has actually like built a downline! No motivation at all! Just pure D GRADE A SKILLS BABY!


Stuff you can take back to your team and help them.... let me see what's that term we use again....D-U-P-L-I-C-A-T-E!!!!


Well of course I met some cool people, they were all networkers for petes sakes! Made some great business connections and would I go back regardless of the traffic??


ABSOLUTELY in a New York minute!!!


It does feel good though to be back home in my fuzzy slippers! hmmmm.. Video blogging time???

Why Brand YOUR Passion?

After networking and making connections, building relationships online for over twelve years it’s come to my attention that email is sort of dead don't you think? How much real connection email do you receive now days? How many people are actually connecting and building relationships online using email? Most of what we receive is spam wouldn't you agree?


Geez, how much Viagra can a person use anyway?!! hahaha!


I still remember back when starting online in 1996 all we had was email and a few chat rooms and forum message boards and of course the tried and true telephone which is always one of our best tools for networking right?


A lot of people come to me and ask my opinion on having a personal website and what’s more important - having a personal website or a replicated marketing system?


Well actually both can help you depending on your goals, your target market and what you are truly passionate about. The main thing is that you start to realize how important it is to brand YOU and you can do this several ways and you don’t have to spend hours, days or weeks building a personal website to do it!


The best thing you can do when you start your enterprise is to be up and running as quickly as possible and getting yourself and your business out there for people to see. Building a personal website can take hours and hours and sometimes weeks to develop. Having a replicated marketing system can be set up the first day you start your enterprise. So I always recommend this option to anyone who wants to have their business website up and running day one.


Depends on your purpose and your end goal so think about what that is first.


This is also why it's crucial to your success to have a plan, a real business plan with your passion spelled out, your goals and your action sets planned out on paper. Have you done this yet? If not I highly recommend doing this first. If you need some coaching on this get in touch and I'm happy to help you brainstorm some ideas.


The reason you want to brand yourself and your passion is because people join you first. They want to know who you are and why you are doing what you do. What are you passionate about? Why should they partner with you? You can do this too by putting up a Blog which are becoming very popular these days. Some people are choosing to do video blogging. Be sure you do what best fits your style. Video may not be your thing and that’s perfectly ok. Writing may be! Or audio may be your thing! Go with your own passion and what floats your boat.


Perhaps some of these other reaching out avenues will be something you’ll gravitate to next as you start to get your feet wet in one area you may advance onto learning something new. Just remember if you’re not passionate about what you’re doing people will pick up on that! So go with what lights your fire because this is what draws more people near to you!


Everything always starts with a little spark!


If you feel you’re not a writer don’t worry, I wasn’t when starting out either twelve years ago! In fact, I had no degrees or writing experience at all. What I have always written about is my own experiences. It’s not fiction, it’s not about what I’m dreaming about, and it’s what I’ve done! I also write like I talk so sometimes may not have the best grammar, remember I didn’t go to school to be an English teacher.


I’m just a little ole networker by way of school of hard knocks!


Writing and posting to your blog is not really about being inspired as much as it is about being passionate about what you do because when you’re passionate about what you do it becomes easier to express yourself. People are attracted to enthusiastic people who are passionate about what they do!


Remember the movie 'Passion Of The Christ'? Jesus passion was working for the Lord. His passion was people and he actually decided to leave his father’s carpentry business which he was very good at to follow this passion. You know people must have thought he was crazy to leave such a great paying job! Jesus however was not that interested in making money as he was saving souls. This doesn't mean though that God doesn't want anyone making money. On the contrary! The Bible says God wants us to prosper and it says it in more places than one and the reason is so that we can be generous on every occasion!


Recently I met another professional woman here locally that left her medical career to pursue a career in becoming a Certified Life Coach. Her family and colleagues thought she was nuts! Becoming a Life Coach however is her passion which is to help other people unlock their true potential and she’s very good at it. Why? Because she is so darn passionate about it! You can tell by listening to her in one of her coaching sessions. She brings out the best in people. I was one of the ones who experienced watching her bring out the best in people attending one of her goal setting workshops. She truly is going for her passion!


For me it’s always been about people too. Helping them find their passion, helping them set up their own enterprise, be their own boss, coaching others and helping them to unlock their true potential for success.


It’s really ok to brand yourself because you are unique and there’s only one you. God made you just the way you are and has a plan for your life. Search deep inside and find what your passion is and express it by sharing what you love with others.


Maybe your passion is your kids, your partner, you love gardening, cooking, nature, travel, reading, skydiving, mountain climbing, running, walking, fitness, health, being your own boss, teaching and training others…you get the picture right?


Combine this passion with what you’re doing to earn a living and write about this on your blog!


Sometimes I’m driving down the road just out running the usual errands to the grocery store, the post office or office supply store. Not so exciting right? BAM something comes into my head and I’ve got to write it on my blog like I’m sharing with you now!


I write notes on sticky notes! Had about 7 or 8 of them all pasted on my desk to put into this blog post! Just jot down thoughts during your day to day routine and it will come to you what to post on your blog.


Once you set your blog up you will get noticed once you start posting it on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Best Networker, thatmlmbeat, and others you’ll find online. You can always Google to find more places to post your blog,. Name your blog which should center on your passion.


On your blog you’ll have your profile which tells a little about you and your passion, photo of yourself and links to your enterprise and any other passions you have. One of mine happens to be Gluten free cooking. Not only do I love to cook, I’m 100% gluten free now after about a year of working on being compliant due to health reasons. It’s been a real struggle and I know it can be for thousands of others. I’ve been there and can relate what it’s like to go to the grocery store and just stand there and stare at the shelves wondering what in the heck can I eat?!!!


Now I’ve got the GFree thing down and even set up a page on my personal website about it because of being so passionate about helping others who are struggling too. If that’s you visit – >http://www.suesewardlivingglutenfree.com AND I hope this helps you as it has me!


Now back to putting up your Blog -


Be sure you always use a photo of yourself to brand YOU! No silly avatars or photos of your products. This will not brand YOU. Remember YOU brand YOU so put on a photo of the REAL passionate you!


One of the other things to do is always be REAL, be authentic, be passionate about what you're doing, just be yourself and people will be attracted to you and want to connect with you and eventually may become interested in what you do and they may just be a great connection. Everyone is a connection, remember that! Even if they are not interested in your particular business think of them as a great connection! You never know what could transpire from one great connection!

What Is RIGHT About Network Marketing?

Copyright © 2008 by Sue Seward. All Rights Reserved.

Network Marketing is one of the only industries that actually gives a person the chance to take back the American dream.

It allows someone like myself who barely made it out of high school, who went to college and dropped out to go to work - to build a credible career that pays as much or more than a lot of people who have college degrees earn and pays you even when you're not able to work!

Where else can someone earn an income even if they cannot work with the exception of government assistance?

In network marketing though it’s earned and not because someone is giving a handout. Instead of giving people an apple to feed them for one day teach people to plant an apple orchard and feed them for life.

The industry gives someone like myself with no experience, no income, no credibility, no contacts, no confidence, no corporate background or degrees, incredible leadership growth and experience which is priceless! So even if it was all lost today it could be done all over again because of the self-development and experience gained from being a part of this industry.

How can something be wrong about that?

There's absolutely everything right about Network Marketing for the people who see it for what it really is and start treating it like the real business it really is meant to be.

So many people get into Network Marketing with the ole ‘I'll give it a try’ attitude. They never set their enterprise up like a real business entity right from the start so it's never treated like a real business.

Network Marketing is really treated more like a hobby by many people who for the most part it doesn't have much significance or priority for them. Others outside our industry pick up on that attitude and do not take these people serious and then they wonder why people poke fun and complain about what's wrong with network marketing?

People get started and you hear them saying you mean there's an investment in this and in myself? What happens is they never really get started right in the first place and end up quitting because they simply cannot handle delayed gratification.

Entrepreneurs invest in themselves and work for no pay for many years. They understand and can handle delayed gratification because they realize that the eventual pay off can be huge. Sometimes they have losses and they overcome those too and do it all over again. They have a business minded attitude, they act and present themselves as professionals. People and business are attracted to them.

It's up to the leaders in this industry to show professionalism to our teams and to the entire industry at all times. That also means to not bash another person's company or product or try and talk them into or convince them to join yours when they are not interested.

When people decide not to build their belief in themselves and the industry they simply will not build a profitable business and then turn around and say something must be wrong with the entire industry.

It's not the industry that has the flaw, it's some of the people who tout it as easy and get rich quick to people who are cash addicted and have no priority for running a business in the first place because they never treat it like one right from the start.

My husband went to school for years, got his degree and studied for his professional license for many years and ended up with professional land surveyor licenses in five states. I remember all those grueling hours of study he had to do to accomplish this.

If he was to start a survey business it would cost us in the 100's of thousands of dollars just for all the equipment needed, office space, employees, benefits to them, etc. It would take years to see a profit and if the economy is slow there's no work and people start to be laid off!

When we brought our son James to Austin to play tennis almost a year ago he was a very weak player, a pudgy 14 year old who was 30 pounds heavier, who they had to take and mold like a piece of clay. He has had to work very hard to compete here with these kids who have been playing tennis at the academy, many of them since they were six or eight years old. Most of them are way ahead of him. He has made it this far because he has a sincere desire to become one of the top players and obtain a college scholarship. His coach said he has to do even more and it has to do mostly with his attitude to win!

For many months we thought that we had made a mistake and were wasting all this money because we just were not seeing him winning the matches and moving up in levels. It has been grueling to watch him lose match after match. Not really realizing that he's right on target with his training!

At the end of the year party we were shocked to hear that our son was giving the end of the year speech! If you all knew James you'd know he's extremely quite and shy. He barely speaks in school. He took the challenge the coach gave him and we had tears of joy when he gave his speech loud and clear in front of over 50 people including his peers! That took a tremendous amount of courage and it gave us hope and reassurance that we've done the right thing by bringing him to Austin to play tennis!

There are people who drop out of the academy because they don't see the progress quick enough. The coaches told us that by what our son is doing now we'll see the results in four more months. What he did four months ago we're seeing right now!

It's amazing to see the leader he's becoming and it's taken a huge amount of sacrifice and investment for our family to give him this opportunity! In fact, if it were not for network marketing he would not have this opportunity in the first place.

It's the same with our network marketing business. When we do all the right things now we will see the positive results come back to us in the near future. Three to four years and even five years is not much time really to invest in the freedom that network marketing provides and that my friends is what is so RIGHT about network marketing!

I'm proud of our son, love being a Network Marketer and so proud to be an American and appreciate all that network marketing has given and also excited about what we can all give back to the greatest industry in the world because they are all watching us guys and gals!

Remember this saying by Ralph Waldo Emerson? "What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."

Where you are now is because of decisions you made five years ago. Where you'll be in the next five years will be because of decisions you make TODAY!

The 2 Percent Plan Funded Business System

Hello Fellow Networkers!

Some of you have been waiting for the launch of Rod Nichols 2PercentPlan Funded Business System.

Well here it is!

This just in from one of my long time mentors and industry trainers, Rod Nichols, author of 'The Twelve Power Secrets For Network Marketing Success', 'Network Marketing For The 21st Century', 'How Would You Like to Dig In My Goldmine?' and several other industry books.

As a fellow network marketer, you probably recognize that there are several inherent problems in network marketing:



Takes too long for the average person to make money.

New associates quickly run out of warm market prospects.

New associates are afraid to approach people.

Most people don’t know how to build on the internet.

Many people never receive effective training.


Due primarily to these factors only about 2% of those involved in network marketing make a legitimate full-time income.



My question to you is: What would happen to your business and the businesses of those in your downline, if we could eliminate these five factors? The correct answer is that your business would explode and your income would skyrocket, as would that of many of those in your network.



I know that this sounds good, but you’re probably wondering, “Rod, how are we going to eliminate the five factors?” That’s an excellent question and in the balance of this e-mail, I’m going to show you exactly how.



The Five Failure Factors



1. Takes too long to make money – although there are a few that pay daily, most network marketing companies pay residuals either monthly or weekly. The average new network marketer takes sixty days or longer to sponsor their first person. During that sixty days, they have paid the costs to join, bought products or activated a service, purchased marketing materials, and possibly paid to be part of an advertising co-operative or purchased leads. They have also made their list of 100 or 200 warm market prospects and are tentatively blundering through those, experiencing a great deal of rejection. All this and they made a penny in the business. NOTE: Please don’t e-mail me about your program and how it pays quicker. I know there are programs that do and that’s fine. However, I’ve been in this industry for 29 years and have watched tens of thousands of people quit because they didn’t make money quick enough.



2. Run out of warm market prospects – Social scientists say that we know 2,000 people and all we have to do is remember them and we’ve got a great base of prospects for our business. The problem with this is that there are very few of those people who are actually open to your business. Yes, they could all benefit from your product or service and from the financial and time freedom that can result from network marketing, but they still won’t join your company or mine or anyone else’s. So, that new associate is going to join your company and begin working through his/her warm market, getting “NO” after “NO” until they begin to doubt that it’s going to work for them. At that point, they are encouraged to purchase leads, which they have to call using a phone script. Most people would rather jump out of an airplane without out a chute than make cold calls to people they don’t know, so this typically doesn’t work and within 60 days or so, they quit returning your calls and e-mails and disappear into the network marketing twilight zone.



3. Afraid to approach people – Network marketing is an entrepreneurial type business that attracts primarily people who are not entrepreneurs. The problem with this is that most of the people who join your business or any other network marketing business are going to be afraid to approach people. They don’t know what to say, are afraid that someone will ask a question they can’t answer, are concerned about what other people are going to think (particularly friends and family), and are afraid someone is going to get upset with them. Fear probably destroys more dreams than anything else in life and it is very active in network marketing. Fear can very quickly drive your very excited new associate out of the business in just a matter of days or weeks.



4. Don’t know how to build on the internet – As you have probably recognized, internet marketing is the wave of the future. Everyone is talking about “social networking”, “You Tube presentations”, and funded business proposals. There are so many great opportunities for marketing on the internet and lot’s of training programs that will “teach you how to make millions on the internet.” The problem is that most of the people who join your business will not have a clue about how to build on the internet. So, the key is to find a simple, easy to understand program for marketing on the internet, that won’t distract them from their network marketing business.



5. Aren’t trained properly – Some network marketing companies and upline teams do a great job of training, however this is more of a rarity than the norm. Unfortunately, most people who join network marketing companies are never trained properly and so they fail. It’s not their fault. The key to training is to have someone who has been there, done that, and made a lot of money do the training. However, usually that type of person in your upline is either too busy with his/her own huge downline or they are off enjoying the free time that results from a big residual income. Either way, people aren’t being trained. So, what is needed is a system, developed by a successful network marketer that will help you train your downline and give them something that will enable them to train their downline.



Okay, so we know the inherent problems, what are we going to do about them? This is the question I’ve been asking myself for over a decade. Back in 1995 I uncovered some of the answers, implemented them in my network marketing business and built a large and very lucrative network in a short period of time. However, there were still some elements missing and people in my network still failed.



In the early 2000’s I discovered more elements and then in 2007 the final piece of the puzzle appeared. Since early 2007 I’ve been working all these puzzle pieces into a program that would eliminate all 5 of the inherent problems in network marketing.



INTRODUCING

THE 2 PERCENT PLAN!


Here’s how it works:



Make Money Quickly!



We know that one of the inherent problems is that people don’t make money quick enough in network marketing. Part of the reason for this is that there is a commitment involved – financially, emotionally, or both. Most people don’t want to make that kind of commitment, so they will avoid. Well, The 2 Percent Plan eliminates this problem by offering an amazing e-book I’ve written (The 2 Percent Plan) that you and your downline can sell online and make $20 per sale.



This dynamic, but easy to read e-book is packed with the closely guarded secrets of the top income earners! These are the actual methods that we are using to build massive networks, resulting in total time and financial freedom! Now, your new associates can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars each month doing some simple marketing on the internet (and we teach them how). Now money is coming in so they can afford to stay with your network marketing company long enough to become successful. So, The 2 Percent Plan has effectively eliminated the money problem.



Generate Quality Leads of Your Own



Next, while they are struggling through their warm market list of 100 or 200, they can be generating great leads on the internet. These aren’t lookie loos, they are people who are genuinely interested in network marketing. You and your downline no longer have to sell network marketing, because these people are already sold. They just need to understand why they should join your company. So, The 2 Percent Plan has eliminated the lack of leads issue.



Work Only with People who Are Interested



Let’s look at how The 2 Percent Plan eliminates the fear factor and the issue of not knowing how to build on the internet. We have developed a turn-key internet marketing system that includes a capture page (to capture the prospect’s name, phone, and e-mail), excellent sales letter for the e-book and system, pre-loaded autoresponder messages that follow-up with those who don’t purchase a book, and an outstanding back office tracking and training system. To develop a system like The 2 Percent Plan would cost you $10,000 or more and we’re giving it to everyone who purchase the e-book for FREE! The fear factor is eliminated because they are working with qualified prospects who are requesting information and anyone can operate the internet marketing system, because we give them a step-by-step approach that includes sample e-mails, banners, and suggestions on where and how to advertise. Anyone can do it and make money.



Receive Training from Top Income Earners



Finally, let’s look at the training issue. First off, the e-book itself is packed with time-proven methods for building a massive network marketing business. These are the actual methods used by the top income earners. If a person just read and used what they learn in the e-book, they could easily earn a full-time income in network marketing and join the 2% group. Above and beyond the e-book, is the back office training and it is extensive. There is a simple step-by-step getting started training that will be enough for most people. However, we’ve also included advanced training which includes how to use FaceBook, MySpace, You Tube, Craig’s List, Squidoo, forums, e-zines, blogging, Google Adwords, banners, e-mail, and more! Plus, we will continue to stay abreast with internet marketing, so that we can offer the most up-to-date training available on the internet. Problem #5 ELIMINATED!



Use the System . . . Get Paid to Prospect!!!



This is an amazing system that will rock your network marketing world. All you have to do is use our proven marketing methods to attract people to your 2 Percent Plan capture page. The system will do the rest. When a prospect fills in the form on your capture page, that information is immediately e-mailed to you for follow-up. You an call or e-mail to find out if they are looking for a network marketing company, already with a company but not happy, or happy with their current company. Obviously, the first two are excellent prospects for your network marketing business. If the prospect proceeds through the sales letter and purchases the e-book, you earn $20! You’re getting paid to prospect for your network marketing business!



You can use the system to generate funds and leads for yourself, plus have everyone in your downline and all new associates purchase the e-book and participate in the system as part of their initial investment and training program. Each person who purchases the book is worth $20 to you, plus they can now start making money and generating great leads. It’s a fantastic and very duplicable system!!!



No Risk . . . Money Back Guarantee



But, don’t take my word for it, check it out yourself. Go to OurPlanBSystem.com to
see the capture page. Enter your information to receive the 7 Hidden Secrets e-mails and proceed to the sales letter. Purchase the e-book and the check out the back office system. Check it out for 30 days and if you aren’t completely convinced that it’s worth every penny you paid, we’ll give you your money back, no questions asked!



You have absolutely nothing to lose and both money and leads to gain. This is your chance to go from the 98% who fail to the 2% who make BIG money.



Be One of the First!!!



Don’t hesitate, click here OurPlanBSystem.com and become one of the first in the entire world to have this e-book and lead generating system. Then spread the word to your downline and others involved in network marketing and start earning another stream of income.



If you have any questions, please feel free to reply.



Have an awesome day and a prosperous year using The 2 Percent Plan!

What Is Network Marketing & What To Look For When Choosing A Network Marketing Company –

First of all if you're still not quite sure what Network Marketing is there are a couple of books I highly recommend to gain knowledge about our industry and business first from a very successful entrepreneur who teaches about becoming successful in business - Robert Kiyosaki



Even if you are already familiar with network marketing these books are highly recommended for further education and to recommend to others who are still seeking this knowledge.



The Business School For Helping People, The Eight Hidden Values Of Owning A Network Marketing Business, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Why We Want You To Be Rich and his CD The Perfect Business (15 min). There's another CD that explains our industry called Business Is Booming. All of these can be found at http://www.networkingtimes.com



Our industry is not only being recognized by business leaders such as Kiyosaki, the industry is also being recognized and recommended by other business leaders such as Donald Trump. Billionaires like Warren Buffet are investing in Direct Selling Companies such as Pampered Chef. Business Start-Ups Magazine (a division of Entrepreneur Magazine), rated Network Marketing as one of its 100 Best Businesses to start. The network marketing industry does about a $100 billion in retail sales annually. So this is big business as Robert Kiyosaki mentions in his training.



A long time colleague (mentor) and I, (Rod Nichols author of The Twelve Power Secrets For Network Marketing Success, will also be launching a new Funded Business System eBook that explains and trains on this information. This will also help you in understanding more about network marketing and how to become more effective in developing yourself and your business.



This system will be launched after April 15th. Email for more information

In his books, Kiyosaki teachs us about the 'E' (employee) - S' (self-employed) & the B' (big business) - I' (investor) quadrants. He recommends network marketing as a 'B' business. Read his books to find out why he recommends network marketing as the perfect 'B' business. Knowledge is powerful and this is the first step in becoming a successful entrepreneur in any business.



Even if you are in the 'S' (self-employed) quadrant we recommend you start a 'B' network marketing business as well because this is where you'll earn passive residual income for leverage. In your 'S' business if you take off does your income still flow in without you? Do you have employees to manage? If they are sick who does the work? Who does most of the work anyway? Do YOU or your employees?



Do they really care about your business like you do? What would happen if you got sick or incapacitated in some way and could not work? Would your income still flow in?



Because after you build a 'B' network marketing business the income would still flow in. Income from this kind of business is passive residual just like any big business that Kiyosaki talks about. After you develop your passive residual income then it's important to start learning the 'I' side of the quadrant and start to develop assets through investments.



Kiyosaki will teach you this knowledge in his books and CD's. It will be ultimately up to YOU to apply that knowledge by taking action to develop your 'B' network marketing business and gain the knowledge to invest your income!



There have been many books written with this information. People are free to give opinions based on facts that they collect and what it all really boils down to is the person writing the book recommends their company in the end or in some subtle way by recommending a list of companies and theirs is at the top of the list. After all it's their choice and it's usually because they've been in the industry for quite some time and have the experience to back up what they're recommending. That doesn't mean people are going to listen or choose that particular company or what we recommend will be the right company for everyone.



What we recommend are guidelines. This is why we call ourselves messengers!



The main thing is to start a 'B' business NOW. If you don't believe me watch the DVD What's Your Plan 'B' and listen to Robert Kiyosaki's The Perfect Business CD above. (15 min)



If this does not open your mind to what's happening in our economy then I'm not sure what will. If you are perfectly content with how things are going and you have all the money and time you want to spend with your family and loved ones, then this information just may not be appropriate for you.



First of all one of the most important things I look for in a company is - who's running the company? After all if I'm going to align my reputation with a company I'm looking for a management team of high integrity. I've worked hard to develop credibility and since I'm a person who values my own integrity, this is one of the first things I look for. If management makes bad decisions it can affect the entire company and eventually could cause the company to be shut down and then everyone loses.



Secondly I expect the management team to have experience in the Network Marketing industry preferably as successful distributors themselves. This way I know they have been in the trenches just like us and know what we go through and the benefits we're looking for as distributors.



Thirdly I like to make sure they have not been in any serious trouble and you can usually find this out if you network properly and seek advice from other experienced mentors in the industry.



The second thing I look for of course is a highly consumable product that is used up every month and reordered on a monthly basis. I also like to see a product that has a profitable retail mark up so that people can go out and sell that product and make money day one to get them into cash flow very quickly. This means it has to be a product that is unique that does not have a lot of competition such as having similar products sold in retail outlets, online stores, etc.



I like to see a product that has an almost 100% mark up in retail profit. This way if people are not interested in sponsoring and building a team (which of course we highly recommend for leverage - more on that later) they are not forced to sponsor to make money.



Look for a product that people can sell in a variety of methods such as fundraisers, craft and flea markets, home parties, online, person to person, gifts, etc. Look for a product that most people love and already buy on a regular basis. Only this product must be of much higher quality than what they are already purchasing in stores and at the same time priced comparably.



Look for a pay plan that rewards the part-timer AND the full-time network marketer who is interested in earning a 5, 6 or even 7 figure income. Look for a compensation plan that does not require you to frontload or order extra products to qualify for your commission checks.



Next I look for systems already in place so that we do not have to take up time developing our own (this is called leveraging other people's time and money which gives you more leverage).



These would be high tech cutting edge systems that anyone can plug into right away from day one without any learning curve. This means having a replicated type website that has a landing page to receive a person's contact information, an autoresponder system that drips information to them while we are doing other things (such as spending time with our family) which also has some sort of personal approach to it such as a MY STORY page with bio and photo, etc.



This way when someone visits the website and actually request more information we call them to start the relationship process by asking questions and ask how we can assist them further.



I'm all for developing a presence online with a personal website. I became very successful doing that for years. The point is it's taken me YEARS to develop that presence online using a personal website. Those personal websites took me a lot of time to develop and I'm still constantly tweaking them.



What I have found is that people want SYSTEMS to plug into NOW that do not take them weeks and weeks to develop. Having a system that a new person can plug into right away from day one where they can start introducing people to their business immediately is crucial and it's what all the successful networkers are using! I cannot stress this enough.



The next thing that is important is finding a mentor and team that are experienced and have support systems in place. I do not ever recommend that someone go online to a replicated site that they found by googling and just sign up for something with someone they have no clue about or from a spam email their receive. This is sure fire failure in my opinion and I have seen it happen over and over again. What I mean is going to a plain replicated site with no mention of who this person is or what sort of experience they have.



This is why it's so important to began your networking business by actually networking and making connections with people you meet either offline or online. There are all sorts of online communities and social networks online now where you can plug in and start networking with people and when you are in the looking zone for a company and business there will be people you can consult with.



It's important to make connections and network even with people who are already with a company who may not be interested in switching companies. I never recommend trying to shove your company onto someone's plate. That's not only inconsiderate it's rude and people will become very upset if you do this.



The most effective way to network with other likeminded people is to develop a relationship. Then down the road when someone is actually in the looking zone who are they gonna call? The person that turned them off by pushing their deal onto them or YOU who is a great networking connection? They are most likely going to contact YOU if you've build a solid relationship with them.



Anytime you find a great book, CD, online community, let other networkers know about it. This will create trust and credibility. You'll start to develop into an expert and people will seek you out.



You can read about people and find out what their experience is in the industry and how successful they are from their profile in these online communities. See what they write about, how often do they post, are they positive about the industry in general and are they truly a networker or just shoving their company in other people's faces? You'll quickly notice if they are a leader or not and what their agenda is. These are the people you see constantly advertising their company in places where people are looking for educational content and input.



Email a leader to see how quickly they respond, if they respond and how they respond. Speak with them on the phone. See if you click with them. Find out how knowledgeable they really are about the industry and find out what sort of contacts they have. Who are they connected with? This is very important because who you decide to align yourself with can ultimately connect you with other networkers. Are they serious and committed to their business and company. How successful are they? Are they just giving advice, yet have not really built an organization or made any income in the industry?



Are they an island? Or are they a delegation type of leader who works with leaders and achievers to build depth in expanding their team? I do not mean entitlement mentality and giving away just for the sake of giving or because they feel sorry for a person.



What I mean by this is - are they a leader who is really into working with specific key leaders, delegating leads and qualified contacts to them because they are committed and loyal and have EARNED the right to be in the inner circle. The inner circle are people who have proven themselves by building their organization, bringing in new partners on a consistent basis and taking action everyday to build their business. This again creates more leverage.




One of the important things I've learned over the years is about ROI which means Return On Investment. That means that everything you do you think about - what will my return on investment be on this? This also includes people you are partnered with. Everything you do in business think about what the ROI will be when you choose to do something.



When it comes to people you are helping to develop into leaders, what will your ROI be with that particular person when you delegate a lead or qualified contact to them? When you have a health issue and decide not to take care of it because it's too expensive. What will your ROI be if you decide to spend the money on your health? How much more productive are you to develop your income when you're healthy vs sick?



Every time you decide to spend money on certain educational material for your business what will your ROI be on that investment? Every time you decide to go to a company event what will your ROI be on that investment? When you invest in tools, resources, marketing, advertising for your business what will your ROI be?
